choate

— 1988 [Routledge], Anthony O'Hear, The Element of Fire: Science, Art and the Human World, 2014, Taylor & Francis (Routledge Revivals), page 119, The abandonment of style in art is less likely to lead to an authentic expression of one's actual feelings than to a self-dramatising display of adolescent brutality, in which one screams because, deprived of the stylistic means to express anything more choate, or articulated, one simply expresses that.
